In PhixFlow, you can draw your business process using BPMN workflows. You can then design application screens. To turn a screen into a user interface, you must configure the operations that PhixFlow will run. Usually, these operations will change:
- either data, for example to update or delete records.
- or the application interface, for example to close one screen and open another.
For example, you can:
- Design a form with editable fields and buttons.
- Connect the form to a stream, to populate the fields with data.
- Make changes to data in the fields.
- Click the "Save" button.
At this point there will be no change to the data in the stream until you have configured the button to perform the operation of updating the data in the stream.
To configure an action,
- Add stream item actions to a stream.
- Create an action and add stream item actions to it.
- For each stream item action, set the rule to control whether or not the action will run.
You can optionally configure
- the contexts in which the action will or will not run using context parameters
- a prompt to confirm the user wants to run the action
- something about uploading a file
- that PhixFlow checks the conditions to allow the action to run are met (validation)
- a task plan that will run after the stream item action runs
- any dashboards to open or close when the action completes
- a message to display after the action completes, for example with errors and warnings
